Kamado Joe Stainless Steel Grill Grate Expander for Big Joe 24" — +60% Cooking Space, 4" Indirect Heat

The Kamado Joe Stainless Steel Grill Grate Expander increases your Big Joe 24" cooking surface by up to 60% while creating a stable, elevated platform for indirect and delicate cooking.

Made to sit directly on your existing grill grate with slotted feet and a four-inch clearance above the fire, this dishwasher-safe stainless steel expander gives you extra room for more food or a safer space for vegetables, fish, and other delicate items. It fits the Kamado Joe Big Joe I, II and III models and is designed to mix and match with other grill surfaces so you can customize each cook.

How does the expander add more cooking area without changing my setup?

The expander rests on top of your current grate, effectively creating a second level that increases usable space up to 60%. Installation is tool-free: simply place the slotted feet on the grate and the expander locks into position for a stable elevated surface.

• Sits directly on the existing grate—no disassembly required
• Four-inch clearance from the fire for indirect heat and gentler cooking
• Expands surface area to fit more food for larger gatherings

Can I use this for indirect cooking and delicate foods?

Yes. The raised platform creates distance from direct flames, letting you cook items that need gentler, more controlled heat. It’s ideal for vegetables, seafood, delicate cuts of meat, and for keeping finished items warm away from direct sear heat.

• Creates an indirect cooking zone by elevating food above direct flames
• Perfect for low-temperature cooks and finishing delicate items
• Prevents flare-ups and reduces charring on vegetables and fish

Is the expander durable and easy to clean?

Constructed from stainless steel, the expander resists rust and holds up to regular high-heat use. Its smooth surfaces are dishwasher-safe for convenient cleanup after an intense cook, and the sturdy slotted feet keep it stable during handling and grilling.

• Stainless steel construction for long-lasting corrosion resistance
• Dishwasher-safe for quick cleaning after use
• Slotted feet provide added stability on the grill grate

• Compatible with Kamado Joe Big Joe I, II & III 24-inch grills

• Mix-and-match friendly with other Kamado Joe surfaces and accessories

Who is this for? If you own a Kamado Joe Big Joe 24-inch grill and you cook for families or groups, enjoy multi-rack setups, or want a gentler cooking zone for vegetables, seafood, and delicate meats, this stainless steel grate expander is a practical upgrade.
